Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
A toughened polyamide composition comprising: (a) 60 to 99 weight percent polyamide; and (b) 1 to 40 weight percent of an emulsion polymerized crosslinked acrylic rubber comprising: (1) 0 to 99.0 percent of an inner phase of a crosslinked alkyl acrylate having 1 to 15 carbon atoms; and (2) at least 1.0 weight percent of an outer phase of a crosslinked alkyl acrylate wherein the alkyl group contains 1 to 15 carbon atoms and 0.1 to 15 weight percent of a polyamide graft-linking carboxylic acid monomer, said outer phase having a glass transition temperature less than about 20° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
A toughened polyamide composition comprising: (a) 60 to 99 weight percent polyamide; and (b) 1 to 40 weight percent of an emulsion polymerized crosslinked acrylic rubber comprising: (1) 0 to 99.0 percent of an inner phase of a crosslinked alkyl acrylate having 1 to 15 carbon atoms; and (2) at least 1.0 weight percent of an outer phase of a crosslinked alkyl acrylate wherein the alkyl group contains 1 to 15 carbon atoms and 0.1 to 15 weight percent of a polyamide graft-linking carboxylic acid monomer, said outer phase having a glass transition temperature less than about 20° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
99 words
A toughened polyamide composition comprising: (a) 60 to 99 weight percent polyamide; and (b) 1 to 40 weight percent of an emulsion polymerized crosslinked acrylic rubber comprising: (1) 10 to 99.0 percent of an inner phase of a crosslinked alkyl acrylate having 1 to 15 carbon atoms; and (2) 1.0 to 90.0 weight percent of an outer phase of an alkyl acrylate wherein the alkyl group contains 1 to 15 carbon atoms and 0.1 to 15 weight percent of a polyamide graft-linking carboxylic acid monomer said outer phase having a glass transition temperature of less than about 20° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
99 words
A toughened polyamide composition comprising: (a) 60 to 99 weight percent polyamide; and (b) 1 to 40 weight percent of an emulsion polymerized crosslinked acrylic rubber comprising: (1) 10 to 99.0 percent of an inner phase of a crosslinked alkyl acrylate having 1 to 15 carbon atoms; and (2) 1.0 to 90.0 weight percent of an outer phase of an alkyl acrylate wherein the alkyl group contains 1 to 15 carbon atoms and 0.1 to 15 weight percent of a polyamide graft-linking carboxylic acid monomer said outer phase having a glass transition temperature of less than about 20° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
